GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) — Authorities say a 54-year-old western Michigan man used his import-export business to smuggle handguns from the U.S. to his native Lebanon.

A criminal complaint in U.S. District Court says Gilbert Oscar Elian of Grand Rapids bought dozens of handguns from 2012-2014 at retail outlets in the Grand Rapids area, drawing attention from federal authorities.

Homeland Security Investigations says Elian exported or tried to export about 18 shipments since 2004, mostly recently in March. Federal investigators say that they found handguns hidden in shipments of auto parts from his business Prestige Imports.

The Associated Press sent a message seeking comment Wednesday from a lawyer for Elian.

The naturalized U.S. citizen was in court in Grand Rapids on Tuesday and is in custody ahead of a Friday detention hearing.

BELMONT, Mich. (AP) — Lexi Thompson has won the Meijer LPGA Classic by a stroke, shooting a 6-under 65 and rallying from four shots back.

The 20-year-old Florida golfer on Sunday won for the fifth time on the LPGA Tour. This is her first victory since she won her first major title last year at the Kraft Nabisco Championship.

She finished at 18-under 266. Gerina Piller closed with a 64 and was one shot behind. Third-round leader Lizette Salas finished with a 70.

Salas parred the first six holes. Thompson caught her with birdies on Nos. 1, 4, 5 and 7. Piller made five birdies on the front nine. A birdie at No. 8 briefly tied her for the lead with Thompson and Salas.

BELMONT, Mich. (AP) — Lizette Salas, Katherine Kirk and Dori Carter shared the first-round lead in the Meijer LPGA Classic at 7-under 64 on Thursday at Blythefield Country Club.

Jaye Marie Green and rookie Wei-Ling Hsu were a shot back in the second-year tournament.

Michigan-born Kris Tamulis was at 66 along with Q Baek, Ilhee Lee and Jane Rah.

Top-ranked Inbee Park, who lost to Miram Lee in a playoff last year, had three front-nine bogeys in a 70. Chella Choi, the Marathon Classic winner Sunday in Sylvania, Ohio, opened with a 71.

Salas, Kirk, Carter and Green played in the morning in little wind and perfect scoring conditions. Hsu had the best round in the afternoon after the wind kicked up. Park and Choi also played in the afternoon.

GRAND RAPIDS, MI (Mlive)– A couple new employees were preparing a fleet of new bicycles earlier this week at The Spoke Folks on Logan Street SW. The brown and gray vehicles were herded into packs around the shop floor, with two at a time hoisted into the air for fine tuning.

On Thursday, July 23, the nonprofit co-op expects the bicycles to be ready to “set them free in the city” for an app-based bike-share service it’s launching in downtown Grand Rapids.

“We have 65 right now. We found the bikes we wanted to use and we bought all of them we could that are in the country,” said David Bell, a mechanical engineer who’s an investor in a for-profit venture that hired The Spoke Folks to operate the bike-share service.

“In the spring we’re targeting 400 to put on the street, which is I think the right number. From our research that’s what Grand Rapids will be able to support.”

As city administrators evaluate a consultant’s recommendation to start a bike-share service that could cost as much as $2 million, Bell and his partners are teaming with The Spoke Folks to get a private program off the ground now. Instead of building stations to dock bike-share bicycles, as a consultant suggests, they’re using a Spokefly app and existing bike racks around downtown.

Customers can download the app to their phone, use it to find a bike nearby and get the combination to the bike lock, and pay for their ride. The fee will be $1 per ride, plus 15 cents per minute.

A 10-minute ride will cost $2.50, for example. A 30-minute ride will cost $5.50. Keep a bike for an hour and you’ll pay $10.

The service offers 8-speed bikes from Breezer Bicycles, each with a bell and basket for any carry-on bags. Helmets are not provided. There will be 65 bikes to start and a few hundred more on the way next year.

“We want it to be you can walk out (of a building) and see the bike,” said Jay Niewiek, director of The Spoke Folks. “These will be scattered across the city, locked up to regular bike racks.”

BELMONT, Mich. (AP) — Young female golfers will receive a lesson on the sport from a former pro during the Meijer LPGA Classic in western Michigan.

Michigan native Allison Fouch-Duncan leads a “Swing Like A Girl” session on Thursday for two dozen girls at Boulder Creek Golf Club in Belmont, near Grand Rapids.

The girls are between 10 and 17. They are members of The First Tee youth development program’s Detroit and Grand Rapids chapters. The LPGA and PGA helped start the international youth service organization.

The golf swing session is part of a confidence building campaign for girls.

The Meijer LPGA Classic runs through Sunday at Blythefield Country Club in Belmont.
